Up to 22 layers of carving were used in the construction of the monument, greater than the
Taj Mahal, which has a maximum of 15 layers. Its
Kali temple is made of
ivory and white marble that resembles the Taj Mahal. The portico has arches standing on four elephants built from cement and is allegedly one of the first cement structures in India. The oldest surviving
Mithila painting is found in the Gasauni Ghar (the room where the family deity is kept) of the palace. Made in 1919 on the occasion of the Maharaja's daughter's wedding, there are very few written or photographic records of the palace. ==Present condition==
